Or are they sometimes both? And is it relevant, and if so how, that his women were first played by boys? This book shows how many kinds of feminist theory help analyze the dynamics of Shakespeare's plays. Both feminist theory and the plays deal with issues such as likeness and difference between the sexes, the complexity of relationships between women, the liberating possibilities of desire, what marriage means and how much women can remake it, how women can use and expand their culture's ideas of motherhood and of women's work, and how women can have power through language. This lively exploration of these and related issues is an ideal introduction to the field of feminist readings of Shakespeare. 410 0$aArden Shakespeare and theory. 606 $aFeminism and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aLiterary theory$2bicssc 615 0$aFeminism and literature$xHistory 615 7$aLiterary theory 676 $a822.3/3 700 $aNovy$b Marianne$f1945-$01476151 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795589103321 996 $aShakespeare and feminist theory$93690564 997 $aUNINA
